The slideDown() function will make the new element appear - so the subsequent fadeIn() will have no effect - is that the problem?

Yes. The new element isn't fading in, which is what I'm trying to do. I don't want slidedown to automatically show the new element.

That's what slideDown does, unfortunately. Is there any reason not to just use fadeIn and remove the slideDown entirely?

I would like to keep both (even if I have to hack it to work correctly). I like the animation of the current contents sliding down to make room for the new element, and then the new element fading into view.
